West Ham youngster Martinez wants 'dream' Chicharito partnership

West Ham youngster Toni Martinez is hopeful to play alongside with his childhood idol Javier 'Chicarito' Hernandez.

Martinez's expectation might even come true sooner than he imagines in the next FA Cup game against Wigan Athletic as Manuel Lanzini and Andy Caroll are ruled out due to injury.

"I wish I could play alongside Chicharito because he is one of my idols. It would be a dream come true for me to play with him and, if I do, I'm going to try to do my best and I am sure the goals will come," said Martinez.

The 20-year-old Spaniard was quite impressive in the previous FA Cup match against Shrewsbury with his assist for Reece Burke's winning goal.
